DİDEM ÜRER: The columnist Orhan Miroğlu, who was let go last week for criticizing PKK, claimed that ‘It is the alleged Ergenekon terrorist organization behind the attack in Bingöl and that it is still very much alive’. And he continued: ‘How can 200 soldiers with civilian clothes be transported with no extra security measures? Can't this army move 200 soldiers around safely? Is it that difficult to carry these soldiers with choppers?’

ADNAN OKTAR: Well said. Of course they can be transported by air. There are huge helicopters and they can easily accommodate 20-30 people. He is right. If they travel with a bus, they will be a very easy target. An open target.
